What we’re doing: Instead of adding a Tumblr page, make a new side blog and set a Tumblr page code as its theme.

e.g. previously, Tumblr page:

**your-blog-name**.tumblr.com/page-name

New URL: your-page-name.tumblr.com

Why we’re doing it: Mostly used as an alternative method to manually approving JavaScript usage for your account.

<aside> ⚠️

While the stats are not high, there is an ongoing bug where some newly created sideblogs will randomly delete themselves (a slim chance). This issue is unresolved at the moment.

📄 Instructions:

  1. Create a new side blog: https://www.tumblr.com/new/blog

  2. For the blog title, give it anything you like.

  3. When picking a blog name, I recommend picking a URL that reflects the purpose of the page you're about to use. So e.g. I want this side blog for displaying my about page, I could call it something like about-glen:

    Screenshot of a text field labeled “Blog name”, with the description “tumblr.com/blogname (you can change this at any time). The user has “about-glen” filled in.

  4. For the Privacy part, do not tick "Password protect the blog".

    Screenshot of the “Privacy” section of setting up a new Tumblr side blog. The option labeled “Password protect this blog” is unticked.

  5. Complete the Captcha and click “Create Blog”.

  6. Once it’s created, go to its settings page: https://www.tumblr.com/settings/blog/**your-new-blog-name**

e.g. If my blog name is about-glen, I would go to https://www.tumblr.com/settings/blog/**about-glen**
